Mike Rhodes has been a staple of the AVL and WNC music scene for some time now, whether is was behind the kit playing with the pre-fame edition of the Avett Brothers or behind the scenes as the head of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Asheville Chapter. After years of recording and touring with the Blue Rags he has gone on to record over 30+ CDs with local artists including Drug Money, Underhill Rose, Kellin Watson, Aaron “Woody” Wood and many more, as well as playing on international releases by Lissie, Georgia Fair and Lotte Mullan. His experiences make him well suited to pull together talent with the chemistry to make magic happen on stage.

Mike’s fellowship for this event include Duane Simpson on guitar and Michael Hynes on bass!
